It was a personal best day at two different meets for El Reno High School’s cross country team, including what is believed to be a school-record showing by Ethan Brooks.

Running in the prestigious 35th Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville, Ark., Brooks ran the course at Agri Park in 16 minutes, 26 seconds to set what is thought to be the fastest 5-kilometer (3.1 mile) time in El Reno school history.

Brooks was one of 83 freshmen in the field of 731 runners for the multi-day Boys “El Caliente” Division.

Serving off large chunks of points in all three games, El Reno High School’s volleyball team snapped a five-match losing streak with a 3-0 victory over Hennessey.

The 25-8/25-14/25-14 win lifted El Reno to 11-16 on the season.

“We needed this win,” said El Reno head coach Kristen Koehler.

In game one, Mary Gonzalez served up 10 straight points, followed by Emercyn Looper with nine and Brantlie Charmasson with four points.

The trend carried over into game two as Looper had a string of eight points and Charmasson with four.

Calumet High School’s baseball team, which has held the top spot in the Class B poll the entire season, is now two victories away from a repeat trip to the OSSAA Fall State Baseball Championships.

The Chieftains, now 24-4-1 following a 5-5 tie with Amber Poscasset (No.5 in Class A) in a tuneup game last week, will host the Class B, Region 1 Championships.

State-ranked Sentinel (No.8) and Caney (No.9) are in the regional along with Vici. The winner advances to state as Calumet is seeking its third straight trip to the fall classic and fourth in school history.

Fueled by an offensive explosion, unranked Union City High School’s fast-pitch softball team took a step closer to its first-ever trip to state by winning the Class A, District 32 title.

The Tigers moved to 19-12 on the season with a win over Drumright (4-3) in extra innings and sweeping two games from Davenport (5-4/17-1) to win the district.

Union City was slated to play in the Class A, Region 5 Championship with the winner headed to state.
